Frequently Asked Questions

Is extracting text from PDF really free? â–ŧ

Absolutely! No credit card, no trial, no limits. Extract text from unlimited PDFs for free forever.

How does local PDF text extraction work? â–ŧ

We use a WebAssembly-based PDF engine that runs inside your browser. Your PDF is read locally, text content is extracted, and you save the result — never uploaded.

Can it extract text from scanned PDFs? â–ŧ

This tool works best with digital/text-based PDFs. For scanned/image-based PDFs (photos of documents), you need OCR technology. We recommend using a dedicated OCR tool for scanned documents.

What formats can I extract text to? â–ŧ

You can copy text directly to clipboard (for pasting anywhere) or download as a plain text (.txt) file.

Can I extract text from specific pages only? â–ŧ

Yes. You can extract from all pages, single pages (e.g., 3,7,12), page ranges (e.g., 5-10), or combine both (e.g., 1,3-5,8).

Will the extracted text preserve formatting? â–ŧ

Text extraction focuses on the raw text content. Formatting (bold, italic, font sizes) is not preserved in plain text output. Tables may be extracted but formatting will be simplified.

What's the maximum file size? â–ŧ

You can extract text from PDFs up to 50MB. For larger files, the limit depends on your device memory (typically 200MB+).

Can I extract text from password-protected PDFs? â–ŧ

Only if you have the password and unlock it first. Locked PDFs cannot be processed due to encryption.

💡
